About COLLINGWOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE SOCIETY

Collingwood Neighbourhood House supports individual residents and groups in the Renfrew-Collingwood community (a very diverse, multicultural East Vancouver neighbourhood of almost 49,000 residents) to improve their community socially, recreationally, culturally, educationally, economically, physically and environmentally.

Through a community building perspective with a particular focus on neighbourhood inclusion and volunteerism, we focus on residents of all ages who are marginalized due to conditions such as poverty, language ability, immigrant settlement, and little or no family support. We work to alleviate hardship, actively encourage inclusivity, facilitate intercultural exchange, seek to improve communication and understanding, improve quality of life, broaden the capacity of residents to address individual and community issues, help one another, reduce isolation and enhance the community as a whole through a welcoming and inclusive environment.

A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is the most efficient way to give charitably since the capital gains tax does not apply. Your security or mutual fund donation means a larger donation for the charities you support. It also means a larger charitable tax receipt for you. We’re the largest processor of online security and mutual fund donations in Canada. And, we make it easy to disburse your donation across multiple charities.

Bringing friends, family or co-workers together to support this charity multiplies your donation.
